Science Rendezvous Kingston, the region's largest free celebration of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM), returns on Saturday, May 9, 2026, at Slush Puppie Place. The event brings together Queen’s researchers, students, and community partners to inspire curiosity and showcase cutting-edge research through interactive booths, demonstrations, and stage shows.

Interested in participating as a booth? Join organizers, and Catarina Chagas, for an online information session to learn more about what’s involved in hosting a booth, tips for creating engaging, hands-on activities, and details about event logistics. There will also be time to have your questions answered.

This session is open to Queen’s researchers, labs, student groups, and departments who are considering registering a booth.

Learn how to build your project, lab, or academic profile website

In today’s digital landscape, a strong online presence is essential for research visibility, collaboration, and impact. Webpublish (or “WP3”) is Queen’s free, web-based content management system (CMS) for creating professional, secure, and accessible websites under the queensu.ca domain. This centrally managed platform ensures compliance with university brand standards, accessibility requirements, and web security best practices.

In this session, Robin Moon, Digital User Experience Manager (University Relations), will introduce the Webpublish system and demonstrate how it can be used to create effective websites for labs, research projects, academic profiles, and events. Attendees will also gain practical strategies for writing and structuring content that is user-friendly, engaging, and accessible—helping their research stand out to academic, student, and public audiences.

Key learning outcomes:

• Understand the features, functionality, and benefits of the Webpublish system.
• Apply best practices for writing, structuring, and presenting research content online.
• Build accessible, user-friendly websites that align with Queen’s brand and accessibility standards.

Join us as we celebrate a major investment in the Arthur B. McDonald Canadian Astroparticle Physics Research Institute, and the 10th anniversary of Dr. Arthur B. McDonald's Nobel Prize in Physics.

Together, we will recognize vital federal support across Canada for world-leading research, celebrate a remarkable scientific legacy at SNOLAB, showcase Canada's leadership in astroparticle physics, and look ahead to a future of discovery and possibility.

Building a strong research profile goes beyond publications and grants; academic awards and prizes can play a critical role in advancing your career and strengthening the reputation of your institution. Yet, many researchers are not fully aware of the opportunities and benefits that awards can provide.

In this session, Mona Rahman, Research Awards Officer (VPR), will outline the value of the award nomination process and share strategies to help you identify suitable opportunities and prepare strong applications.

Key learning objectives:

• Identify different types of academic awards and their potential impact at various career stages
• Learn strategies to effectively position yourself for award nominations
• Recognize how awards contribute to both individual career advancement and institutional reputation

This session is designed for early-career researchers and faculty seeking to gain a better understanding of the academic awards landscape and how to build an award portfolio for long-term success.
